    How to modify a Lee Factory Crimp Die to crimp 22lr

    This mod process could be used on any caliber. It is finicky though. Be careful if you try this.

    Hello All,

    I went through a very similar situation when I started loading the .44 Colt Original.
    Of course my project was a little bigger than the .22, but basics are the same.
    I put together a pdf. for anyone wanting Ideas on crimping heel based bullets.

    Thanks a LOT, SledMan.
    Very nicely done.
    Now I have NO reason to pass up all the cool old stuff I see. ��
    I have cobbled stuff together for a 310 cadet.
    I used an FCD for a 7.62 Mauser.

    BTW I went to the sled meet at Nisswa, MN once ~25 years ago, I was very impressed by the Trailmaker. (And a bunch of others)
    — too many projects now.
